Kitty Kelley’s newest attack screed claims that Pres. Bush did coke at Camp David during his father’s term, and that Laura Bush tried marijuana in her youth, according to this Mirror article.

None of this is news, of course; most of the same trash was trotted out in the 2000 election, and it didn’t fly then either. What is of more interest to me is to see how the book is treated, compared to the reception of Unfit for Command.

Will we hear sonorous declarations about the “seriousness of the charges” demanding a “full investigation”? Will it be ignored for weeks by the NYT and her spawn, until they get the official “response” from the Bush campaign?

Will we see Bush’s lawyers frantically threatening bookstores, the publisher, TV stations, and anybody walking nearby in order to squelch its release?

You already know the answer. But I still have to point it out: let the storm of hypocrisy rage anew.

UPDATE: My Pet Jawa has a great intro to Kitty Kelley.
